Konoha was calm this night, like always, when Naruto wasn't around, and also the
sky was clear. One of these nights, you'll think, you are able to see all the
stars in this dark blue heaven, that exist in this universe. It was still summer
and the air was not too cold to stay outside for hours after sunset.

One lonely figure had decided to do so and lied outstretched on the roof of one
of the higher buildings in this village, watched the bright fullmoon and the
uncountable stars above. A slight breese swayed over him and played with his
short strands of red hair.

That was, when he heard soft footsteps on the roof he was lying on. He didn't
bother looking up. He allready knew who it was. He also didn't bother to pay
attention to his visitor just before he sensed dark blue sandals on either side
of his own head and the other looking down at him. Still he didn't bother
looking up.

"The roof is rather unconfortable, you know. And soon it'll be slightly chilly
outside. You'll catch a cold, if you stay here any longer. Why don't you come
in?" the calm voice said. "I don't want you to get sick."

A low chuckle escaped Gaara's troat. "I don't get sick." he answered. "You know
that."

"I see, I see..." he heard the other boy mumble and then let out a sigh. "But
don't complain in the end! I warned you, you subborn."

Gaara said nothing, was still staring at the moon, while his companion sat down
next to him. As he gave him a questioning look, the other boy just shrugged and
smiled.

"This way you have to endure my complaints too, when the two of us are getting
sick. I'm wondering, who'll annoy the nurses the most!" the raven haired boy
said grinning, as he laid down next to the sand nin. 

The two silently stared at he stars and the moon until Lee's voice broke the
silence the second time this night.

"You do this often the last time, right? Lying here and staring at the moon I
mean..."

"I do." the red head answered shortly.

"I see..."

"..."

"...boooooooooooooring."

"Oh shut up." Gaara growled, annoyed.

"But it really is, Gaara! I'd prefer to look at something different instead.
Somethin' interesting." the thickbrows said.

"... for example?" Gaara asked politely to show some sort of interest to Lee.

"At you?" came the quick answer from Lee like a bullet from a gun and Gaara
looked at him surprised and confused at the same time.

"Me? You're nuts..." the red head answered cooly, not bothering to look at him
as he turned his face to the other side.

"No." he heard the soft voice of Lee cutting trough the silence. "I'm deadly
serious."

//He must be kidding...// Gaara thought as he slowly turned his head again to
face Lee and was rather surprised, as he saw Lee staring intensely at him and
felt the heat rushing in his cheeks.

"Quit making fun of me allready!" he growled as he sat up and crossed his arms
on his chest. "Or I'm going to break all of your fucking bones again..."

The green clad ninja just chuckled at the reaction of his friend and also sat
up. "You wouldn't do that again." he said. "I know you wouldn't."

Gaara did't look at him, just snorted and placed his hands behind himself for
support, touched the cool roof.

"You once said to me..." Lee began after a long pause because there were no
response from the red head, "... »A person can't defeat loneliness.«. That's
true somehow. But not quite..."

Gaara flinched as he felt a warm hand upon his own, but didn't pull back.

"I know you're lonely, Gaara. But you don't have to. You might not believe me
but... There will always be people, who will be there for you, who were holding
you dear and don't want you to get hurt."

Then the sand nin sensed Lee's hand softly closing itself around his.

"And there will always be me."

So they sat silently and watching the moon and the stars and both of them knew
that if the sun is clashing in the ocean and the world is tearing apart, they at
least will have eachother.

And loneliness didn't have to be such a heavy burden, if you have someone, you
can share your sorrows with.
